I don't remember having to do that in 2019 - but maybe I am mis-remembering. Ah well, my old seat is so safe it doesn't really matter...

Apparently there are some 13 councils who haven't got the postal ballots out fully in time, excuses were that they just didn't have enough ballot papers printed, this for a summer election during school holidays, did they not thonk there might have been a lot needed?

They used to. Every year prior to this we just re-registered.

Earlier this year we had to resubmit a scan of our signature (first time ever), then re-register, complete with another scan of our signature, and then apply separately for a postal vote.

Keeps somebody in a job I suppose.

I think what Scott meant is they don't send out postal ballot forms, yes they send you what used to be an actual card, but is still called a poll card despite it being on an A4 paper because of all the listing of what is a valid ID.

Re: UK voting
 

I gave up my postal voting registration. The only postal vote I ever received on time was for Brexit... and that didnt end the way I wanted..

Re: UK voting
 

I got mine last week on Monday but I was on vacation all that week, so I probably would have had time to do it if I could have posted it back out that same day. Since it was free postage I did mail it out this Monday but I doubt it'll get back in time for Thursday. I doubt it'll matter too much, the seat I'm voting in only has a small Conservative majority so I'm certain it'll be solid Labour this time around.
